The 25 Best Chanel Front-Row Looks Of All Time
Lots of oversize sunglasses and tweed ahead.
The final day of Paris Fashion Week (and Fashion Month) starts off with a double-C breakfast in the form of a Chanel show. In the universe of runway shows, receiving a Chanel invitation is something akin to getting Wonka’s Golden Ticket — except chocolate usually isn’t involved, and the calligraphy is much fancier. The French brand is known for its all-out runway shows; past seasons have seen Paris’ Grand Palais turned into a grocery store, an airport terminal, a carousel, a library, a French rooftop... You get the gist. If it exists in the real world, it can be replicated for Chanel Runway Universe, and you bet the premiere It Girls have taken seats front and center to absorb it all.
There have been many faces of Chanel in the 21st century, including Nicole Kidman, Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, Margot Robbie, and more recently, Blackpink’s Jennie and Margaret Qualley. In the spirit of one last day of street style looks, we combed through the Internet to find the best celebrity pics from Chanel shows over the years. Keep scrolling to see the front-row moments from 2004 to 2024, with both friends of the brand and unexpected legends (hi, Cher).
